What's new in November 2025

Improvements

• Modified project wizard: The project wizard now requires only Details and Company info at minimum; all other steps can be skipped unless the employer chooses further customization.
• Automatic portal access for new companies on certain portals: On portals where applications auto-accept and no portal access screening questions exist, any newly created company now automatically receives portal access without redirecting to a success screen.
• Portal pass terminology update: “Portal pass” has been updated to “Portal access” throughout the platform and help content for clearer, more user-friendly language.
• Observer permissions: Observers can now comment on team milestones and submissions, allowing them to guide teams through projects.
• Survey dates adjust with experience changes: When experience start or end dates are modified, survey instances tied to that experience will automatically adjust to align with the new dates. Completed surveys remain marked as complete, while incomplete surveys update to reflect the new dates.
• Team page ‘Overdue’ section: The “Overdue” section has been removed from team page tasks. All tasks marked as upcoming or overdue, will now appear under a single “To do” section for a cleaner, simpler view.
• Imported match requests create membership and company affiliation automatically: Match requests created via bulk match request import now automatically create the company and memberships required for the request.
• Expanded recommendations email logic. Employers now receive recurring recommendation emails for open projects created in the last 30 days (previously limited to 1–5 days), improving match visibility.
• Onboarding wizard field regrouping: The user onboarding wizard now features clearer grouping and improved labels: Profile fields reorganized for better flow; More descriptive question-style labels added; A tooltip added to the phone number field clarifying privacy.
• Custom learner instructions for date-setting: Experience administrators can now add custom text for learners on the “Set dates” step of the application wizard when teams control project dates and the assignment type is ‘By application’.
• Match request wizard: Updated “Getting Started” and "Select" steps - “Getting Started” step: has been redesigned to make it easier for users to select or create a project/experience.

• Updated tabs on experiences: The learner view of tabs on the experience page has been updated to show ‘My projects’ in lieu of a ‘Teams’ tab and now shows the count of all teams the learner belongs to.
• Updated match page tabs: The Match page now displays Teams and Applications as top-level tabs rather than sub-tabs. The tab counts previously shown on sub-tabs are now displayed on the top-level tabs for easier visibility. The Teams tab is now labeled “Learners” if the experience has a team size of 1.
• Set work log limits for experiences: Experience administrators can now set maximum hours per entry and maximum hours per day for learner work logs. These settings ensure that learners comply with the intended experience requirements.
• Set minimum teams per match: Experience administrators can now set a minimum and maximum number of teams per match in the Experience wizard under Project work organization. This appears as a nested fieldset below the Individual/Team selection. This ensures that employers align with the educator’s intended team structure while providing flexibility during matching.
• Improved expiry logic for auto-closing: Projects and experiences will no longer close due to expired requests they responded to, only requests they haven’t responded to.
• New tasks and events layout: Users now see an updated layout of tasks and events on the dashboard. The sections are visually separated from other content and take up less vertical space, making them easier to scan and interact with.
• Application closure display: Educators, employers, and admins now see how applications were last closed on a match. Closure reasons display directly beside the Applications closed status pill.
• Match requests page filter addition: When filtering match requests by the "Pending" state, a new "User pending" filter appears. This lets you view requests specifically awaiting action from the employer, the educator, or both parties.
